Henry the Juggler Plays with Fire!!!

July 13, 2007

Henry the JugglerHenry the Juggler stopped by to help us celebrate our summer reading program. He may not speak but the kids sure listened (adults and teens listened, too!!) Henry had their undivided attention and even taught some juggling after his show was over. We had heard that he was armed (and legged) and dangerous (juggles fire) but we didn’t know he’d be so funny, too! Thanks for stopping by Henry.
